No there hasn't. We also are getting very close to have 3 major hurricanes at once (Irma, Jose, and Katia) and that's happened only twice in history (1933 & 2010)

We also broke an all time daily accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) record yesterday in the Atlantic, and I think we're about to break our own record today...

I thought Irma had a shot to come east of FL a day or two ago but I think those chances are dwindling as yet again the Azores-Bermuda high has become stronger and more extensive than forecast...If anything, I'm getting more worried about this trying to sneak up the west coast of FL where many residents in SE FL chose to evacuate to in advance of the hurricane. Interaction w/ Cuba and even some of its modestly high terrain may weaken Irma a bit and could cause the circulation to erratically meander or get shoved west of its current forecast.
 
As far as I'm concerned for the states of N.C and S.C I'm ecstatic for this west trend, for other areas I'm scared for.

Looking better for inland areas especially northern Georgia . Sure there will be strong wind gusts but the extreme scenarios have backed off

Is that due to the further west track ? Or what is the reason ?

GFS and euro still have 60-80 mph gusts in N Ga and Upstate SC
 
If the most recent tracks we've seen verify, its not looking as bad as it could have been north of Florida. Just nasty severe weather.

Longer time over land but to me it looks like the models have slowed down a little post landfall . A slower moving system is better than one that zips through like Opal did
